Ye Xiao bluntly said that he wanted to visit the backyard mansion and asked Mrs. Wu about the details of the day.

On the night when Wu Hongmao's accident happened, he and his business partners went out for a drink. They didn't come back until a long time ago. Mrs. Wu was taking care of the master, so she asked the maid to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of hangover soup.As a result, when the maid came back, she was followed by Taoyao, the concubine whom the master had taken for less than a month.

Mrs. Wu knew very well what kind of virtue her master was, and there were more than ten or twenty concubines in the back house, but this Taoyao gave her the strangest feeling. She had a foxy face, but was very pure, just like It is a pure and flawless little white flower.

Taoyao insisted on staying to take care of the master, and Mrs. Wu angrily left the master to her. But she didn't expect that the master would die the next day!

Mrs. Wu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sobbed: "At that time, I suspected that Hu Meizi had done it, so I quickly found someone to arrest her and put her in the woodshed. I would hand her over when the official came, but Unexpectedly... Wu Zuo checked the master's body and found that there was no poisoning or fatal wounds. He said he died of natural causes."

"Although the master usually likes to drink, his body has been fine all year round. How could he die suddenly!"

But the results had come out, and Taoyao was no longer suspected. She was forced to let him go, but she didn't expect that the master's body would be missing later. It was really a crime!

They were walking and talking, and unknowingly they had reached the back garden. Suddenly, a low voice of crying reached their ears. Mortals like Madam Wu could not hear it, but Lin Tangzhou and the others could hear it clearly. When they reached the rockery, they saw a woman in a pink skirt crying and complaining to someone. It was called a pear blossom with rain.

Lin Tangzhou raised his eyebrows slightly. The aura on this woman's body was the same as that evil spirit. He, Ye Xiao and the others looked at each other, and Qiao Yuanji nodded to them, confirming his suspicion.

This woman must be Tao Yao, and the evil spirit in Wu Hongmao's room must be left by her.

"Hu Meizi!" Madam Wu also saw Tao Yao, gritted her silver teeth and squeezed out these three words, looking at Tao Yao with endless disgust in her eyes.

Taoyao seemed to have heard their voices, and her body trembled. When she saw Mrs. Wu, she quickly stepped forward and knelt down, sobbing: "Madam..."

"Cry, cry, cry, you've been crying all day long!" Mrs. Wu felt very uncomfortable when she heard her artificial voice.

There was a rolling sound behind Taoyao, and a man in a wheelchair came out from behind. His face was like a crown jewel, but he looked a little sickly.

"Mother!" the man whispered.

"Wu Xiao, why are you here?" Mrs. Wu frowned. The man in the wheelchair is Wu Xiao, the third son of Wu Mansion. He has been talented in business since he was a child. After Mr. Wu passed away, he was the only one who could take charge of these industries. .Due to health reasons, he basically never leaves home. Now seeing him and Tao Yao sneaking around in the garden... it's hard not to make people suspicious!

Madam Wu's eyes turned between them.

Wu Xiao looked normal and said slowly: "Aunt Taoyao suddenly came to me for something. I saw that she was in a hurry, so I came."

Tao Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, shook her body again and her shoulders shook. She seemed to be still crying.

Mrs. Wu sneered: "Little Hu Meizi, maybe she saw that the master was gone and wanted to find someone to rely on, but she actually focused on the third young master. Someone, drag her down!"

The servants behind him quickly dragged Tao Yao down. During the whole process, Tao Yao didn't even have to defend himself.

Lin Tangzhou found it very strange.

Who knew that Ye Xiao thought the same way. He directly stopped the servant who took Tao Yao away and said to Madam Wu: "Madam Wu, I have something to ask Madam Tao Yao."

Madam Wu glanced at Ye Xiao with a strange expression, and suddenly her attitude toward them became a little more contemptuous.

Lin Tangzhou thought to herself that Mrs. Wu wouldn't think that Ye Xiao was confused by Tao Yao, right?

Tao Yao was brought back again, but this time she seemed to be even more fierce.

Everyone was confused, but Lin Tangzhou seemed to have guessed that if Taoyao was really a demon, her perception would be much better than that of ordinary people. Her reaction should indicate something.

Lin Tangzhou patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder and motioned for him to retreat.

He stood in front of Tao Yao, put his hand on Tao Yao's arm, with a light and gentle smile on his face, and even his voice was like a spring breeze, "Don't be afraid, I just have something to ask you. .”

A trace of spiritual energy entered Taoyao's body directly, without attracting her attention, but it calmed her down.

Tao Yao's eyes were slightly red, and she saluted them and said, "I've lost my composure. What do you want to ask, sir?"

"What were you doing on the day Mr. Wu's accident happened?"

Tao Yao lowered her eyebrows and said, "That day, after I fed the master the hangover soup, I left after he fell asleep."

"I really didn't kill the master. He was fine after I left. He even said he would take me to buy jewelry the next day. Who knew the next day..."

Lin Tangzhou said softly: "Where were you on the day Master Wu's body was lost?"

Tao Yao said: "That day was the night that the second young master kept watch. I was always in my room and never went out."

Lin Tangzhou: "I wonder where the second young master is now?"

Mrs. Wu looked at the housekeeper and asked sharply: "Where is the second young master?"

The housekeeper said respectfully: "The second young master went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

Lin Tangzhou was silent. Could it be that he hadn't gotten out of bed yet?That’s a bit outrageous!

Anyway, they had finished asking all they wanted to ask, and their final goal was to ask Wu Tong about what happened that night.

Mrs. Wu sent them to the door. Lin Tangzhou suddenly remembered something. He paused and asked Mrs. Wu, "I have another question for you, Madam. I may be a little presumptuous. Please forgive me."

Mrs. Wu: "Sir, please speak!"

Lin Tangzhou: "I heard that Wu Bei, the eldest young master of Wu Mansion, has been missing for many years. I don't know why?"

This incident is an eternal pain in Mrs. Wu's heart. After all, Wu Bei is her biological son. She has never given up looking for him for so many years. Now when someone suddenly mentioned it, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"This is all my fault. When Bei'er was ten years old, he fell ill and didn't recover for a long time. I took him to the temple to pray for blessings, but...it's all my fault. I didn't keep an eye on him and he disappeared. I searched the whole mountain but couldn't find his whereabouts. Some people said that he was kidnapped by someone. I have never given up looking for him for so many years. If you have any information about Bei'er's whereabouts, please let me know. , even if it is... a corpse, the old woman recognizes it!"

Lin Tangzhou apologized: "I'm sorry, I just said too much. Don't worry, if there is any information about the whereabouts of Mr. Ling, we will definitely notify your house."

"What's the name of that temple? Where is it?" Ye Xiao suddenly spoke with a serious tone.

Mrs. Wu: "Yes, Zhao Temple is about fifteen kilometers between Tai'an City and Anbei City."
